One Tough Notebook
on August 31, 2015

I had no idea this notebook would be so sturdy. This is not your regular notebook. The cover is hard compressed paperboard and thus feel more like a hard bound book. I love it! Where most of my notebooks are totally shot after a semester this notebook will go the distance through the entire year. And I really like the paper. The paper is lined with tan/brown lines and I have found more relaxing on the eye when writing for 3 hours on end like most of my classes are. Overall really thrilled this purchase turned out so well. Total plus it's kind to our environment. Win Win.
These notebooks with recycled materials used as covers are fantastic! They hold up through the school year and offer a student a way to be earth-conscious in choosing school supplies. Terrific value!
I "journal" a lot and prefer the standard-size notebook. Normally the covers are flimsy and look terrible before I'm through writing in them. I travel a lot and my journals are terribly abused. These Stables Sustainable Earth notebooks are sturdy and make it through anything I can put it through. Currently I am living in Death Valley and the nearest Staples store is over 120 mi. so I was very pleased to find it online. Thank you Staples!
Nice feel but not fountain pen friendly like most say.

I got this because of the many reviews floating around online saying the paper is fountain pen friendly. Maybe there is an older version or something but everything I put on this paper bleeds and feathers and I mean everything. Even Noolder's x-feather and that thing isnt suppose to feather on anything and it hasn't on other papers I have until I tried this paper. The paper itself feels very smooth I gave it 4 stars because If you aren't a fountain pen user I am sure these notebooks are great. They feel sturdy and well built otherwise.
